Or better yet: "I googled 'The Keep' because it's my favorite example of the genius of Michael Mann. Apparently, this isn't Mr. Mann's forum. Might one of you direct me?" :p

Aw, now, Biggles, how do you hope for salvation with thoughts like that?

Maybe a visit from an old friend, like maybe "Snake" or (dare I hope) Russ Madden?

Snake was a jackass, pure and simple. Good riddance to bad psycho-garbage.

Russ, though, made some good, thoughtful points. Still, why leave the gang and put your Paul Wilson collection for sale on e-bay just because of a minor-league rogue on the board? Ken V. and I exchange broadsides regularly. So what? "I ain't here on business, baby, I'm only here for fun."

I'm willing to be that we all passed the 100,000 mark a long, long time ago. I was just checking where it was before my last post until now. The count went up by 3 and then DOWN by 1. Deleted posts must drop the count. Or something. Then again, if you don't count the haiku thread, we at about 50,000.

What is the usage of "mantle" here? And why must one pick it up?
